Uploaded on Feb 28, 2010 Color Me Badd was a male R&B/Pop vocal group which was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the early 1990s. The members were Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters and Kevin Thornton. The group, whose R&B harmony vocals and image that appealed to Pop and R&B audiences, were discovered by Robert Bell, a member of Kool & The Gang. The group had five U.S. hit singles from their debut album, C.M.B., released in 1991. The singles were 'I Wanna Sex You Up', 'I Adore Mi Amore', 'All 4 Love', 'Thinkin Back', and 'Slow Motion'.

'I Wanna Sex You Up' was also featured on the New Jack City movie soundtrack in 1991, and 'Forever Love' was on the Mo Money movie soundtrack in 1992. The group released four albums between 1991 and 1998, as well as a remix album in 1992. As their success faded, they group broke up 2000, with the members going about their separate ways. Sam Watters is a record producer who acheived success with a lot of Pop Music artists during the 2000s. Kevin Thorton is a Gospel singer and has recorded a solo album, Mark Calderon works in the insurance industry, and lead singer Bryan Abrams has recently appeared in a VH-1 reality show titled Mission Manband. Category Color Me Badd’s Biography — Free listening, videos, concerts, stats and photos at Last.fm Listeners Biography Color Me Badd were a male R&B vocal group which was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1987. The members were Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Kevin Thornton and Sam Watters.

The a cappella, pop, and hip hop outfit, whose R&B harmony vocals were offset by mild rap interjections and a post-New Kids On The Block street dance image, were discovered by Kool & The Gang's Robert Bell in 1990. The group enjoyed 5 U.S. hit singles from their debut album C.M.B. throughout 1991 and 1992. These were "I Wanna Sex You Up" (U.S.#2), "I Adore Mi Amor" (U.S.#1), "All 4 Love" (U.S.#1), "Thinkin Back" (U.S.#16) and "Slow Motion" (U.S.#18). "I Wanna Sex You Up" was also on the New Jack City soundtrack, and hit number 1 on the UK Singles Charts. Their debut album, C.M.B. was released in September 1991, eventually selling over 6 million copies worldwide, and being certified 3x platinum in the United States by the RIAA. Color Me Badd performed at the 1991 Smash Hits Poll Winners Awards in the UK, winning the Best New Group trophy.

In January 1992, they were awarded the Favourite Single, Soul/R&B trophy at the 19th annual American Music Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. March 1992 also saw Color Me Badd win the Best R&B / Soul Single, and Song Of The Year, categories at the sixth annual Soul Train Music Awards. The group released a remix album in October 1992, titled Young, Gifted and Badd. It contained the hit single "Forever Love" (U.S.#15), which was also featured on the Mo' Money soundtrack. However, the album peaked at U.S.#189, which was the first hint of the bubble bursting. The group's third album Time & Chance was released in November 1993. A hugely ambitious project, consisting of nineteen new tracks, this album represented a slight shift in musical style for Color Me Badd. Working with top producers including David Foster, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, a more soulful and funky sound had clearly emerged. Although some critics gave it positive reviews, the album did not fare well on the Billboard Album Charts, eventually peaking at #56.

With the music industry at the time embracing groups such as Nirvana, Guns N' Roses and Pearl Jam, it was difficult for Color Me Badd to deliver the same success on the singles charts as they had done before. The album's title track "Time & Chance" peaked at U.S.#23, while its follow-up "Choose" also topped out at U.S.#23. The group re-emerged in 1996 with their fourth album called Now and Forever. However, once again, sales were well below those expected from the group at around 4,000 sales in the U.S. alone. The album produced one major hit single, "The Earth, The Sun, The Rain," which peaked at U.S. #21. After moving to Epic Records, Color Me Badd's fifth album, Awakening, was released in July 1998. Remaining true to their R&B roots, they again received critical acclaim for their vocal harmonies. "Remember When" achieved minor success on radio and has a companion video shot as well.

The original members of Color Me Badd officially disbanded in November 1998, culminating in the release of their best of set,The Best of Color Me Badd. In 2011, they reformed as a trio, sans Sam Watters, who is now a successful songwriter and producer.

Wearing brightly colored suits and gyrating to rehearsed choreography, the pop supernova exploded with two follow-up No. 1 singles, a triple-platinum debut album and nine Top 40 hits before disbanding in 1998. “This is that group with George Michael and Kenny G and Snow,” Butt-head said.

Thrust into the pop-culture spotlight, the quartet’s members each had a celebrity lookalike: Mark Calderon, who serenaded the “Beverly Hills, 90210” crew at the Peach Pit, was a dead ringer for ex-Wham! singer George Michael. Sam Watters, dogged by Kenny G comparisons, is haunted by the sax-y similarity to this day. Kevin Thornton, the Milli Vanilli lookalike, battled sex addiction and suicidal thoughts before Jesus told him to quit the group. And Bryan Abrams’ mug makes the most post-Badd headlines, although they’re from the police blotter. If you dismiss the Grammy-nominated act as another pop-culture cast-off, consider this: The unforgettable single lampooned by “Beavis and Butt-head” lives on, recently appearing in the Adam Sandler film “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” “I think the only reason we didn’t make it long-term was because we kind of imploded from the inside,” said Watters, now a successful record producer married to former “American Idol” finalist Tamyra Gray. “It’s a real challenge to maintain that kind of thing.

We were together for 14 years. Like anything else in life, when you’re moving up and you’re moving forward, everything is good because it’s relative to where you were before. But whenever you explode all of a sudden like that, and the next seven years are slowing going back in the other direction, that takes its toll.” PRIMARY COLOR It started with a sing-off. Calderon had heard about Abrams’ vocal prowess in Northwest Classen’s Cry-Slurs choir and challenged him. “He just completely blew me away,” said Calderon, who joined the choir that included bass vocalist Thornton. The boys thought they could one-up the success of New Edition and New Kids on the Block, Calderon said, so they perfected performing a then-popular Levi’s commercial. “A lot of people in the 1980s weren’t really hip to the doo-wop sound, so it was sort of a new thing,” he said. “We knew how to blend our voices well, so it really caught on.” The band formed during the “new jack swing” genre popularized by Bobby Brown, Guy and Keith Sweat.

Thornton, who was a year older than his three bandmates in the class of 1988, said the group coined their music “hip-hop doo-wop.” The foursome originally formed as Take One in 1985, but changed to CMB to avoid an identity crisis with an a cappella band named Take 6, Calderon said. “Remington Park was open, and there was this horse called Color Me Bad,” he said. “Sam actually found the name looking through the newspaper. That gave us an idea.” Now, they just needed a break. ‘KOOL’ PLACES When members of CMB heard of a Kool & the Gang party appearance for students with perfect attendance, they skipped school. Instead of asking for autographs, they started singing, Calderon said. “The dream that we had was to contact any of the big artists that would come through Oklahoma City,” he said. “We actually got to meet a ton of artists that came through town: Huey Lewis and the News — we actually sang with them up in their room at the Waterford Hotel — Ronnie Milsap, Sheila E. was another, the list goes on and on.

Either they were going to blow us off or they were going to invite us and let us hang out with them. One way or another, we were going to get their attention.” Another big break came in 1989. Abrams and Thornton both worked at the Penn Square Mall multiplex, where the band sang an impromptu audition for heavy metal heroes Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora after spotting the group’s tour jacket. “We went and sat in back of Jon Bon Jovi while he watched a boring movie,” Watters said. “Bryan was always the best salesman out of all of us.

He said, ‘John, can we sing a song for you?’” Abrams said his trademark pitch would be “just 60 seconds of your time, man.” “Bon Jovi said, ‘All right, let me hear what you guys got.’ And we started singing ‘Daddy’s Home,’ and I could see his eyes as we were singing: ‘Wow, these guys can really sing.’ He asked us, ‘How would you guys like to open up in front of 20,000 people tomorrow night?’ And we’re like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ So they let us open on stage, and that’s pretty much how everything went,” Calderon said. SEXY TIME The band members kept in touch with management contacts, and the Badd boys moved to New York when they turned 18, Calderon said. Giant Records executive Cassandra Mills heard a tape of “I Adore Mi Amore,” a song co-written by Hamza Lee, Watters said. “He was a guy we did talent shows at Douglass High School with, and we came back and started doing songs with him,” said Watters, whose father was a professional cellist and taught at Oklahoma City University.

“We were working with these ‘big producers’ in New York that our managers were hooking us up with and other people’s songs, but the song we wrote with the guy from the Douglass talent show that got us signed ended up becoming a No. 1 (R&B) song.” “I Wanna Sex You Up” was never intended to be a single, Abrams said, but after the “New Jack City” soundtrack dropped, radio played the song incessantly. “When the record company saw everything that was happening with that song, I remember them calling us up and saying, ‘Hey, we need that album, like, in a week,’” Calderon said. “At that time, we only had about four or five (songs) already finished, so they flew us out to L.A., and we got into the studio. It’s funny, because we had heard so many other acts like Bell Biv DeVoe and Christopher Williams, and I think Keith Sweat had all turned down that track. We were able to jump on it.” While Abrams said the two or three weeks spent recording made the debut “C.M.B.” album feel unfinished, Watters said that process proved advantageous with five hit singles. The record sold 6 million copies worldwide.

CMB’s first hit went No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by two chart-topping singles: the dreamy “I Adore Mi Amore” and the gleeful “All for Love.” “It just didn’t give us enough time to really overthink anything,” said Watters, who has since worked with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Simpson. “We just went for it, and it worked. “Not having any experience, it’s really hard to understand what you need to do to fit into a niche and how you need to evolve. You have four guys and four pretty separate opinions. I don’t think we really had the best management in terms of helping us with direction, either. With the first album, that really worked to our advantage because we hit with a song and it did well. So we just worked with the same people we did that with, turned it around pretty fast and had a pretty cohesive album.” Since CMB was a mixed-culture group, the music industry didn’t know how to market the diversity, Calderon said. “We weren’t an all-white group or an all-black group,” he said.

“Plus, on top of that, we sounded R&B whenever we’d sing, so that threw them off even more. It didn’t sound like a bunch of white guys singing. Our sound didn’t match our faces.” CMB, which earned 1992 Grammy nominations, won Best R&B/Soul Single and Song of the Year at the Soul Train Music Awards that year. SOPHOMORE SLUMP Instead of riding the crest of success, CMB lost momentum with its second album of new music, and the finger-pointing ensued. Abrams loved recording the ambitious “Time and Chance” album, which allowed CMB to flaunt more of an R&B influence. Producers David Foster, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and DJ Pooh brought a variety of sounds, but Abrams thought Mills wanted the record “to be a little too R&B.” “We had all the money in the world, and we could use any producer we wanted,” Calderon said. “It was just an album with a bunch of different producers and a lot of different sounds.

I thought it was a lot of good music, but it just didn’t work, man.” Watters said “Time and Chance” lacked cohesiveness and alienated fans by charting a different course. The 1993 album peaked at No. 56. “It wouldn’t have mattered if we would’ve put that first song out that was an absolute hit,” he said. “And the first song we put out, ‘Time and Chance,’ was so far away from that — it’s almost laughable in that way, especially the music video. Ice Cube directed it, and it was in South Central or wherever we did it. It was just awful. We all had to pay the price, slowly, through life, after that, and just watch everything kind of disintegrate.” Thornton said he regrets releasing the title track as the first single, as opposed to dropping “Choose” first. Both barely cracked the Top 25. “That’s where we did kind of follow a trend,” Thornton said. “What was hitting at that time was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

When we made the choice for the single, and it didn’t have the success that blew up right out the box, all of a sudden they throw in the next single still without a lot of promotion.” Meanwhile, Nirvana and Pearl Jam were starting to dominate the charts. “Music was just all over the place,” Abrams said. “You listened to the radio, and you’d hear a pop song and a grunge song and then (rap). It was kind of tough.” Thornton, who had a huge temper, also said management didn’t have the band’s best interests in mind. “We were really deceived, and it was a heartbreaking time for us,” he said. “Once I found out about it and presented it to the guys, it was just a real bad situation. The guys didn’t really see it at that particular time, so I really felt alone.” Instead of turning to substance abuse, Thornton said he fed his sex addiction. “You could place a table full of drugs or bottles of alcohol right in front of me, and that wouldn’t even faze me, but if you put a stripper on that table, I’m sweating bullets,” said Thornton, who endured suicidal thoughts and depression. “If I wanted to celebrate, I would do it with sex.

If I was feeling down, I wanted to recover by utilizing sex. I would try to justify those actions.” COLOR-BLIND The pop stars were floundering. The group’s 1996 album, “Now and Forever,” boasted producers Narada Michael Walden, Boyz II Men’s Nathan Morris and Babyface, but sales diminished. “By the third album, then the record company’s basically saying, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re going to take over. We’re gonna pick the songs,’” Thornton said. Although “The Earth, the Sun, the Rain” single charted at No. 21, the second release, “Sexual Capacity,” missed the Hot 100, despite being featured in the Demi Moore movie “Striptease.” “When you haven’t produced or had the big song or written the big record, the record company decides to take over,” Calderon said. “They end up choosing the single and what songs they want you to do once you don’t have the golden ear anymore.” CMB left Giant — and parent company Warner Music Group — and landed at Epic Records, where R&B President Ron Sweeney saw hidden value, Watters said.

“There was a lot of disunity in the group,” Thornton said. “We weren’t completely in accord; it was just about survival at that point. We had radio people telling us, ‘Don’t release a ballad,’ because you had Backstreet Boys — they were a big thing. This was right before ’N Sync took over, and it was real ballad-y.” RUDE ‘AWAKENING’ Switching to Epic — and Sony Music Entertainment — CMB released “Awakening” in 1998. After recording wrapped, Calderon said Sony head Tommy Mottola approached their table at Mr. Chow restaurant in New York and started singing CMB’s “Remember When,” which would become CMB’s next single. Abrams and Calderon hated the choice. “Tommy had just gone through a really painful breakup with Mariah (Carey), and he loved that song so much that he went ahead and OK’d it, but when it came to start spending money on it, he didn’t feel like we were gonna be able to hit,” Watters said. “Tommy said, ‘You guys hit too big, and then watched success go away.

You’re not going to get it back.’ Yeah, he might have been right about that.” That’s when Abrams started losing it. “My drinking started getting heavier, and I just really started kind of getting depressed,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting to be some huge megastar, but there was jealousy with us and Boyz II Men, or envy watching them do what they were doing.” Calderon said the band’s biggest mistake was buying a house and living together on Long Island for so long. “Bryan’s alcoholic problem really started taking a toll on the group,” he said. “The other guys just weren’t feeling it.” After CMB left Sony, manager Johnny Wright (’N Sync, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers) wanted to sign the group. “The day before we were getting ready to sign the contract, Kevin (Thornton) came over to my house that night and said he got a calling from the Lord, and he wanted to get out of the group and wanted to follow where God was calling him,” Calderon said. “I was like, ‘Well, all right!

When the Lord calls, you gotta go!’ Come on, you’re not going to argue with God.” Thornton, who was newly married and living in Texas, felt torn. As he listened to a Gospel minister preach about the music industry, he heard Jesus speak to him. “He tells me this: ‘Now is the time,’” Thornton said. “God said to me, ‘Whatever you give up for me, I will increase you double.’ All of a sudden, I even tried to negotiate with the Lord. ‘What about my wife? I’m one month shy of being married one year. She’s never lived in a house; she’s always lived in apartments.’ I had just built a house from the ground-up off the golf course, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to keep that.” Thornton said God claimed that remaining in the industry would make him rich, but he would “lose everything.” “Then I heard my name audibly,” he said. “So I’m tripping out, just arguing with the Lord.

(The minister) said, ‘Kevin, forget about the contracts.’ How did he know that very night I was supposed to go over to Mark’s house and go over the contracts?” Thornton, who released the solo album “Conversions” in 2008, said a Holy Spirit “loophole” allowed him to leave the group. “Sam had called the next day, and he wanted to continue writing and producing,” Calderon said. “And that’s pretty much how the group broke up. From there, it was just Bryan and I, and when I told Johnny Wright that two of the members had broken up, he pretty much said, ‘Ah, well, I pretty much wanna forget about this whole thing.’” FADE TO BLACK Since CMB’s final show in 1998, the act was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. Watters, who was never comfortable in the spotlight, does not plan on reuniting. “I never say never, but probably not — no,” he said. “I became a producer and songwriter and found some real success doing that.” Calderon, who is raising his family in Cincinnati, recently performed with Abrams in Hawaii.

“We had a great time,” said Calderon, adding that he wishes CMB had been invited to the 2007 Oklahoma Centennial Concert. “Kevin didn’t want to perform with us (in Hawaii).” Thornton operates Kevin Thornton Ministries and recently accepted the youth pastor position at Without Walls Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Abrams, who released the 2001 solo album “Welcome to Me,” said the recent Hawaii show with Calderon “went great.” Now living in the metro and scheduling solo gigs, Abrams also appeared on VH1’s “Mission: Man Band” reality series. He has three songs on Kool & the Gang’s new record and sings lead on all three tracks. When Watters was producing Anastacia following the success of her debut 2000 single “I’m Outta Love,” he convinced her to record a similar song, “One Day in Your Life,” to sustain her success. He explained how CMB failed to capitalize on the momentum of “I Wanna Sex You Up.” “This is momentum,” Watters told her. “If you keep the momentum, that previous success is going to help you, and you’re going to feel it behind you pushing you forward like you can’t believe.

And if you mess this up, you lose the momentum. You won’t be able to get it back. “That’s really what happened to us. If we didn’t hit so big on our first album — coming out with ‘Time and Chance’ and it not doing well — it might not have destroyed us so much.” A RAINBOW OF REFERENCES Here are some kaleidoscopic pop-culture encounters with Color Me Badd. ‘Beverly Hills’ Badd Facial hair was in full effect when CMB crooned for Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty and Brian Austin Green at the Peach Pit in a “Beverly Hills, 90210” episode. CMB hit it off with the cast … mostly. Mark Calderon said Garth was incredible-looking, and band members killed time with Green at Disneyland. “It was funny, because Luke Perry walked in the set upset because all these paparazzi people were starting to go through his trash to find anything on him,” CMB’s Mark Calderon said. “I remember, he came in with pig and everything, and he was upset. … He’s a country boy. He had a baby pig with him.

I don’t know (why). He just did.” And what about Brenda? “I remember Shannen Doherty living up to her reputation for not being such a nice person,” CMB’s Sam Watters said. “She was absolutely awful.” Blame it on the rain CMB’s Bryan Abrams said Kevin Thornton hated being compared to the lip-synching Milli Vanilli: “He was like, ‘No, it’s Terence Trent (D’Arby)!’ And we were like, ‘No, Milli Vanilli!’” Kenny powers Before cutting his curly locks, Sam Watters endured comments likening him to smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny G: “I remember Kenny G coming back to me at a concert and saying, ‘My brother!’ and me thinking, ‘Oh, now I gotta cut my hair!’” CMB members still became starstruck at awards shows, whether it was performing for James Brown, Janet Jackson and Kenny Loggins, or doing makeup backstage with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS. But not all stars were spotted. Up for honors at the 1992 Grammy Awards, CMB sat across the aisle from fellow Best New Artist nominee Boyz II Men.

“When they called (winner) Marc Cohn’s name, we both looked at each other and kind of waved our hands like, ‘Who’s Marc Cohn?’ — sort of looking at each other in disbelief,” Calderon said. “But ‘Walking in Memphis’ was a great song.” —Rob Collins BADD BOY Bryan Abrams’ arrest record is well-known. Besides drunk driving charges and a domestic abuse charge in 2007, Honolulu police arrested Abrams, 40, on suspicion of harassment last July. On Aug. 16, Oklahoma City police arrested Abrams and charged him with domestic abuse. According to police, his “speech was extremely slurred.” “Every kind of trouble I’ve ever gotten into that’s ever reached the tabloids — or even some that didn’t — were alcohol-related,” Abrams said. “That is one thing I will not deny. I’m a binge drinker, and I fight and battle with it all the time. One day, I hope I can put it behind me because I’m still trying to, seeking help and counseling with that. It is a self-medicating kind of thing.” Abrams said he is bipolar and currently taking the antidepressant Cymbalta, which is helping.

“I have the manic phases, which are awesome to me, and that’s when I do most of my writing,” said Abrams, who will only sleep three or four hours a night for months. “Then I have my crashes. Then I’ll need 10 hours of sleep and still be tired the whole next day and not know why and have to drink three cups of coffee just to function for a while.” Although former bandmate Sam Watters has lost touch, he hopes to repair the friendship. “I’ve been through some really trying times with him, and you end up getting close to somebody and loving them,” Watters said. “I’m just definitely rooting for him.” Mark Calderon said Abrams needs to deal with alcoholism and psychiatric issues. “I would hope that if there’s anybody that could help his situation, which we’ve tried, I wish they would reach out for him, because we love him we and don’t want him to hurt himself or hurt someone else,” Calderon said. On Sept. 24, Abrams said he will enter long-term treatment out of state this week and plans for outpatient treatment upon return to Oklahoma.

—Rob Collins Color Me Badd biography, birth date, birth place and pictures Email Print Color Me Badd was an R&B vocal group that was formed in Oklahoma. The original members of the group were Bryan Abrams (born November 16, 1969); Mark Calderon (born September 27, 1970); Sam Watters (born July 23, 1970) and Kevin Thornton (born June 17, 1969). The group sold 8.8 million records worldwide. Emerging in 1991 with the album C.M.B., Color Me Badd helped to define the smooth R&B trend called "New Jackswing." Whether the band's actual influence upon later acts such as Boyz II Men was as decisive as Color Me Badd themselves would claim is debatable, but they were among the first in the 1990s to popularize a blend of rap, classic R&B, and harmonized ballads in one package. However, after their sudden appearance into the limelight, Color Me Badd slid back towards obscurity with a pair of follow albums that failed to recapture the chemistry of their debut.

Although born in different cities, all of Color Me Badd's members-Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters, and Kevin "KT" Thornton-grew up together in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Like many young singers, the foursome began vocal training within the setting of a church choir, and were able to create a local reputation before entering high school. After taking on the name Color Me Badd in 1987, they plied their trade in the halls of their school singing the doo-wop style of harmonizing made popular in the 1950's. After performing at several talent shows, it was not long before the quartet had gained enough credibility to audition for high-profile musicians, such as rocker Jon Bon Jovi, whose tours brought them through Oklahoma City. When Robert Bell of the group Kool and the Gang saw the group perform, he was impressed enough to pull then necessary strings to land Color Me Badd their own manager. However, after relocating to New York City in hopes of making their break, the act found themselves back in a sea of show business contenders. "It was a struggle," Watters later told Bill Francis of Billboard.

"For a year and a half, we slept on the floor of the one-bedroom apartment we were sharing with one of our managers." After that period of dogged perseverance, Color Me Badd was signed to Giant Records in August of 1990. Having been struck by the sensual feel of Color Me Badd's demo tapes, Giant executive Cassandra Mills decided to unveil her new signing act in an upcoming film soundtrack, New Jack City, a gritty 1991 crime film in need of a soulful, erotic number. After Mills delegated the writing duties to producer Dr. Freeze, who had given the group Bell Biv DeVoe their hit "Do Me," Color Me Badd delivered the song "I Wanna Sex You Up." Flavoring the cut with their own barbershop quartet nuances, Color Me Badd's result became the biggest hit of the New Jack Citysoundtrack and caused Giant to slate the group's debut album for as early a release as possible. The single release of "I Wanna Sex You Up" cut to the head of sales charts, and Color Me Badd were suddenly in demand.

As the New Jack City album offered no photos of Color Me Badd, many listeners were surprised to find that four-piece was comprised of various ethnic backgrounds. "A lot of people were surprised that we're not an all-black group," Abrams told Francis. "So when people listened to our song, they liked it for what it sounded like, not what we looked like." The band's blurring of color lines in the face of an often segregated market was refreshing, and in fact is at the heart of Color Me Badd's moniker. "The name Color Me Badd is a state of mind," said Thornton. "Color me 'bad' or don't color me anything at all. The type of music that we have doesn't have a color. It comes from within." By summer of 1991, the group released C.M.B., proving they were more than one-hit wonders. Expanding upon their self-named style of "hip-hop-doo-wop," Color Me Badd crooned a collection of ballads and funk-laced pop tune such as "I Adore Mi Amor" and "All For Love," both of which were Number One singles. However, while C.M.B.

was embraced by record buyers, critics found the record formulaic, if amiable enough. "[T]he group itself is fairly evidently fabricated to marketing specifications," wrote Mim Udovitch in Village Voice. "They don't play any instruments, they don't write most of their material, and though they sing and rap nicely, if unremarkably, for all I know it's not even their vocals. None of which detracts from the album's slight but satisfying charm in the least." After "I Wanna Sex You Up" racked up statues at various music awards, Color Me Badd set themselves to work on their follow up album. Perhaps in response to charges of being studio pawns, the quartet helped pen the cuts for their next release, albeit under the guidance of a bevy of experienced producers that included DJ Pooh, David Foster, and the team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The resulting songs, which appeared on the 1993 album, Time and Chance, bore a passing resemblance to the R&B groups of the 1960s that had influenced Color Me Badd, such as the Temptations and the Four Tops.

"Once [our producers] heard tracks like 'Trust Me' and 'God Is Love,' Abrams toldBillboard's David Nathan, "they got the direction we were going in. It's more of a an adult sound, because we're growing, and it reflects our love for older music." Unfortunately, few of Time and Chance's 14 tracks were as catchy as the group's earlier singles, and the album withdrew from the public eye after a brief chart sojourn. The group counted their losses and took some time off before returning to the studio, writing songs for other pop singers, including Paula Abdul. When Color Me Badd returned it was with an even larger arsenal of producers than onTime and Chance, most notably Grammy winner Babyface and Narada Michael Walden, who was an uplifting force for Color Me Badd's members. "Working with Narada was an incredible experience," Watters remarked on the band's internet homepage. "He would light candles in the studio, set up props, do anything to make us really feel what the song was saying.

It was very inspirational." In addition, the band prefaced their new album with a fairly successful live tour of Asia, where their popularity had not waned as radically as it had in North America. Nevertheless, the resultingNow and Forever, released in 1996, was Color Me Badd's biggest disappointment to date. Almost completely ignored by critics, Now and Forever bore signs of being a calculated effort to recapture the formula that had made C.M.B. so popular. The first single, "Sexual Capacity," was another steamy soundtrack tune, featured in the film Striptease, but whereas the similarly themed "I Wanna Sex You Up" had became a summer anthem, "Sexual Capacity" was cast into the deepest reaches of the charts. In spite of such an abysmal reception, Color Me Badd band remained undaunted in interviews at the time, and even claimed responsibility for the influx of male vocal groups that had recorded in the wake of C.M.B.. "We know a lot of groups have come along since we started recording in 1991," Watters claimed in a 1996 online interview, "and we know we were the first to hit it big.

It makes us feel good when some of these newer groups let us know we inspire them." After moving to Epic Records, Color Me Badd's fifth album, Awakening, was released in July 1998. Remaining true to their R&B roots, they again received critical acclaim for their vocal harmonies. "Remember When" achieved minor success on radio and has a companion video shot as well. After Epic Records decided not to renew the band's recording deal, Color Me Badd officially disbanded in May 2000, culminating in the release of their best of set,The Best of Color Me Badd. Sam Watters pursued a second career as a record producer, achieving success in later years with Jessica Simpson, Celine Dion, Fantasia, Anastacia, Natasha Bedingfield, Kelly Clarkson, 98 Degrees, Blake Lewis, and The Runaways. Watters married R&B singer and former American Idol contestant Tamyra Gray in 2006. Kevin Thornton released a solo album that features contemporary hip-hop/rap material with gospel and soul music. Mark Calderon currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio and works for a local insurance company.

只找到一首，《I Wanna Sex You Up》希望能有，谢谢 答 Color Me Badd Early success Color Me Badd had five U.S. hit singles from their debut album C.M.B. throughout 1991 and 1992. These were "I Wanna Sex You Up" (U.S. #2), "I Adore Mi Amor" (U.S. #1), "All 4 Love" (U.S. #1), "Thinkin' Back" (U.S. #16) and "Slow Motion" (U.S. #18). "I Wanna Sex You Up" was also on the New Jack City soundtrack and hit number one in the United Kingdom. Their debut album, C.M.B., was released in September 1991. It sold over 6 million copies worldwide and became certified 3x platinum in the United States by the RIAA. Color Me Badd performed at the 1991 Smash Hits Poll Winners' Awards in the United Kingdom, winning the Best New Group trophy.

In January 1992, they were awarded the Favorite Single R&B/Soul trophy at the 19th annual American Music Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. In March 1992, Color Me Badd won the Best R&B/Soul Single and Song of the Year categories at the sixth annual Soul Train Music Awards. In October 1992, the group released a remix album entitled Young, Gifted & Badd: The Remixes. It contained the hit single "Forever Love" (U.S. #15), which was also featured on the Mo' Money soundtrack. However, the album peaked at U.S. #189. The group's third album, Time and Chance, was released in November 1993. A hugely ambitious project, consisting of nineteen new tracks, this album represented a slight shift in musical style for Color Me Badd. Working with top producers including David Foster, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, a more soulful and funky sound had clearly emerged. Although some critics gave it positive reviews, the album did not fare well on the Billboard Album Charts, peaking at #56.

It was certified gold in the U.S., for shipments of more than 500,000 units. With the music industry at the time embracing groups such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, it was difficult for Color Me Badd to deliver the same success on the singles charts as they had done before. The album's title track, "Time and Chance", peaked at U.S. #21, while its follow up "Choose" also topped out at U.S. #23. The group re-emerged in 1996 with their fourth album called Now and Forever. With high-profile producers including Narada Michael Walden, Babyface, Jon B and Boyz II Men, this album was well received by both critics and R&B fans alike. However, once again, sales were well below those expected from the group at around four thousand copies in the U.S. alone. The album produced one major hit single, "The Earth, The Sun, The Rain," which peaked at U.S. #19. However, it became a popular airwave staple and remained on the Billboard Charts for 19 weeks (the group's second-most-enduring single).

The second single, "Sexual Capacity," was a minor hit and appeared on the soundtrack to the Demi Moore film Striptease. This song was co-produced by Robin Thicke under the name Rob Thicke. After moving to Epic Records, Color Me Badd's fifth album, Awakening, was released in July 1998. Remaining true to their R&B roots, they again received critical acclaim for their vocal harmonies. "Remember When" achieved minor success on radio and has a companion video shot as well. Kevin Thornton had previously left the group in October 1998 to pursue ministry. He later released a Christian solo album, in 2005, that features contemporary hip-hop/rap material with gospel and soul music. Thornton became a licensed minister, in August 2006, and has since served as an evangelist, youth pastor and worship leader at his home church, Without Walls Church, in Fort Worth, TX. He has partnered with the church's non-profit Fort Worth Hope Center in helping to feed over 100,000 families a year in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

He is also actively involved in bringing awareness to the realities of human sex trafficking in America, through his partnership with "Traffick911.\ Sam Watters pursued a second career as a record producer, achieving success in later years with Jessica Simpson, Celine Dion, Fantasia, Anastacia, Natasha Bedingfield, Kelly Clarkson, 98 Degrees, Blake Lewis.
